Are you looking for quality printing? Whether it be business cards, posters or stickers?

I believe that even in the world of technolgy it is a good idea to still have information down on paper, or business cards. Afterall, technology has been known to fail.

I have come across PrinterRunner.com and believe that you should check them out.

A little background information about them:

PrintRunner.com was established with little more than a small press and a dream. Ten years later our company became one of the foremost quality printers in Southern California. Our commitment to provide the best value and high quality full color printing at affordable price made our company grow. PrintRunner is a full service high quality printing company located in Chatsworth, California.

I love these companies that start out small and establish themselves as a frontrunner in their business field. PrinterRunner.com offers online business cards printing through their online printing services. So, if you have been looking to pick up some business cards for your business, this is the place to check out. Click the links and you can see what they have to offer.

I received no monetary compensation for this post. All words (except quoted text) are my own and have no outside influences. Thank you to PrintRunner.com for allowing me to host their giveaway on my site. I will receive a set of business cards for hosting this.

I love to read. Most of the times I get so deep into a book that it only takes a couple of days to get through it.

One of my goals is to get my daughter to have the same love for reading, whether it be classics or mysteries, thrillers or just light-hearted books, that I have. We all know, books take you places (in your mind) that you might not be able to travel.

But, I do like to read certain types of books and sometimes I come across a book that just isn't my cup of joe, so I like to pass it on.

As, the case here. I won a awesome collection of items that included numerous books (which 2 I am in the process of reading now), but also included a Nora Roberts book that I won't read. Not that I have anything against her as a writer, I just can't get into her books very well. So, I wanted to give this one away, to you, my blog readers.

The prize is: Nora Roberts "The Witness" hardcover book. It is brand new and comes from a smoke free home. I normally ship items first class but being that this is thick, I will probably ship it media mail (will have to see what the prices are).

To enter, just check out the rafflecopter form below, the mandatory entry is a follow on twitter. Then all the others are extras that you may do if you wish.

Giveaway will end on 6/21/12 @ 12:01 a.m.

Thanks for entering and good luck!

This giveaway is sponsored by me (Lollipops n' Ladybugs), no outside source was included, all words are my own.

Released on June 5, 2012 by Warner Bros., here is your chance to win a copy of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island DVD of your very own.

Been seeing reviews and highlights of the movie and I think that I would really enjoy it and am looking forward to seeing it.

The movie is about:

Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, The Hunger Games) finds a hidden signal that he believes will lead him to his long lost grandfather (Michael Caine, Miss Congeniality). With the help of his new step father (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, The Scorpion King), Sean finds a map and starts his adventure which leads him to Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens, High School Musical) and the island of Atlantis! Sean and his friends battle giant bees, killer lizards, a volcano of gold, and electric eels to escape the lost city and make their way home!

Are you looking forward to seeing it?

Do you want to win a copy of the DVD?

Then you just have to enter below in the rafflecopter form. Mandatory entry is an easy one, just take the "Would You Survive" quiz and post a blog comment on what your results were. Me? I am a "Trail Blazer."

I want to take this time to thank Partner's Hub for allowing me to host this giveaway on my blog. Except for quoted text, all words/opinions are my own. I received no compensation or product to host this giveaway.

Winner has 48 hours to respond to email (have a deadline for sponsor) or alternate winner will be chosen. NO PO BOXES as sponsor uses FedEx to ship. Thanks.

As a few of you know, we decided (or maybe it was I that decided) to homeschool the little one. Not because I think the schools in the area are the worst, I just know in my head and in my heart that I can do so much better for her. Why should she sit in a classroom for 7+ hours a day with 1 teacher (overworked) and 30 (probably more by the time she would be there) kids and try to learn? Why would we stifle her learning like that? The world will be her teacher. There is so much out there for her to learn.To experience. To have fun with.

The one main issue on what I have had so far (or wall that I have hit) is which way to go with the homeschooling? Just when I think that I have my mind made up on some sort of curriculum, another one catches my eye and I like what I read. I know I do want it to focus around literature, as she already has a love for books it seems and I want to expand on that. What I do see myself doing is borrowing from many different styles of teaching and finding what works best for us.

Anyone else do that? What works best for you and your family? I am always looking for new ideas. How about supplies? What have you stocked up on or are looking to find?
